When Sporting CP signed Viktor Gyokeres, they took quite the gamble on a striker whose only consistent form in front of goal had come outside of the top-flight. Having failed to make the grade at Brighton, Gyokeres had proven to be a menace for Championship defences, scoring 43 goals for Coventry City over the course of two-and-a-half seasons with the Sky Blues.

Liverpool and Newcastle United have reportedly entered a fierce battle to secure the signature of Sporting CP forward Luis Suarez ahead of the summer transfer window. The Colombian international has enjoyed a prolific campaign in Portugal, attracting elite Premier League interest following a string of dominant displays. With a significant release clause in place, any potential suitor will need to break the bank for the 28-year-old.

Sporting CP are not feeling the absence of Viktor Gyokeres after the Swedish international signed for Arsenal over the summer. The Portuguese giants have signed Luis Suarez to succeed Gyokeres, with the Colombian striker earning high praise from team-mate Pedro Goncalves. In six games for the club since his arrival, Suarez has been directly involved in as many goals.

Sporting CP’s record signing Luis Suarez says he is living "a dream" after he scored four goals for Colombia against Venezuela.
